Abstract
Biogas is formed from degradation of the organic matter and it is typically composed by carbon dioxide and methane gas, this last one being a greenhouse effect gas (GHG) with global warming potential approximately 20 times bigger when compared to carbon dioxide. Brazil has a great potential of energetic use of biogas, in sewer treatment, rural residues such as pig breeding and, mainly, in the treatment of urban solid residues. Its energetic conversion can be presented as a viable and efficient solution to the great volume of produced residues, since it reduces the methane emissions, at the same time that it produces electric energy. In this context, the good use of solid residues explores a resource of renewable energy and, therefore, it is susceptible of receiving the Certified Emissions Reduction (RCE) regarding the CDM, since it contributes to the environment preservation. The perspective of sale of RCE's improves the attractiveness of the business, due to the opportunities of diversification of the Brazilian energetic matrix, besides representing a decentralized way of energy generation, diminishing the dependence of local concessionaires.
